How much are we talking, because it would have to be a hell of a lot for me to give up the likes of fillet steak!

Easily - I don't eat a lot of meat, as I really don't like cooking it. I@m pretty much vegetarian at home already. I'd miss bacon sandwiches and steaks though....

Depends how much the pay was. But it would have to be a lot.

I could do it for a week or 2, for a few thousand pounds. But if it's my whole life and I had to, about 10 million would do!

I'd do it for a million but only if I could still eat chicken and fish like some veggy's seem to.

Only if it were temporary. To do away with meat would be to deny a whole lot of variation in my cooking. And bacon. Nommy, nommy bacon.

Dunno. How about you get paid what you would spend on meat in a week/month/year etc.

If I knew it was a for a period of time then I could...
Or if I was getting a weekly payment for being veggie then no probs. I wouldn't be signing up for some 'go veggie until you are 80 and then we pay you' nonsense

Thats kind of redundant because meat eater wanting to stop spending money on meat could just stop.
So you have saved £10 and then get paid the £20 that you would have spent on meat. You gain £30 per week for not eating meat. |

If it was only for a month or so I probably would I often have unintentional veggie days where I eat no meat, chicken or fish but to give it up for ever no way. I could not give up a ever eaten a bacon sandwich again for any amount of money.

As long as it wasn't forever. But I would ham it up (no pun intended) to hold out for as much money as possible, claiming I couldn't live without meat and that I was the complete anti-vegitarian. Then I would laugh when I have the cash because since I started weight watchers I don't eat a lot of real meat, mostly just Quorn. But I couldn't go forever without meat. Quote:

Recently i've only been using chicken, fish and vegetables so I think I could easily do it. Would be nice to be allowed to eat one protein though. I could certainly go veggie if I was allowed seafood.

Possibly for 2 weeks but no longer (I wouldn't even attempt it for the whole of Lent!) and only then if it was made worth my while in dosh. Don't particularly eat a great deal of meat but I couldn't exclude it from my diet altogether...

![]() I couldn't do it. I was veggie for about six months in the early 90's for health reasons and it was awful. I missed chicken and fish far too much and eating out was a nightmare. |

I could do it for a week for free - after that, pony up. Pony up GOOD.

If I had to put up with an eating disorder it would have to be for a substantial sum
